Mac OS Mojave privacy prompt not appearing in notarized builds.
-
In signed / notarized Mac builds on Mojave, I can't seem to get the microphone permissions to work correctly. I have values in the Info.plist that, on unsigned builds, will prompt the user for permissions, but once signed and notarized, I can't seem to get new users / installations the input from the mic.
For reference, here was a past issue that has been solved (and my current situation is in the last comment). Thanks! -

Still no luck on my end with this. Anyone else have any ideas what the differences could be for this between signed and unsigned?

@Joshua-Parmenter Same problem here. I have an app that uses the microphone for audio capture. When built with Qt 5.9.x/XCode 9 it runs fine and I get automatic prompts to access the microphone, even when the app is signed.
When built with Qt 5.12.5 / XCode 10, it works when the app is not signed. When it is signed and/or notarized, I don't get the automatic prompt.
So I added a manual prompt as described at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/cameras_and_media_capture/requesting_authorization_for_media_capture_on_macosWith that, the app works when it is not signed. When it is signed and/or notarized, calling for the microphone access prompt causes a crash.

@Karl-Wolfram - I don't get a crash with that, and I actually have that in my project already. So - doubly troubling that I don't get the prompt! That being said - what is the crash you see? More than happy to try and help you figure that out if you can post a crash dump here or in a message to me. Thanks for your feedback, though - at least I know it isn't just my project!

Anyone else seeing this issue? Want to surface it once more in case anyone else has some insights.

I finally got this working. The info plist needs to have a string in place to ask for permissions (as mentioned already) and the app, when signed, needs to have entitlements attached that include:
<key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.microphone</key> <true/>Hope that helps someone else in the future!
